India's hope is a racist - BY GABRIELE VENZKY

Hindu fundamentalist, could win the election modes

If this country elects, which is every time a company of superlatives: India, the largest democracy in the world, goes from next Monday to the polls. Until May 12 815 million eligible voters should have - cast their votes and the Gandhi clan could have this powerful springs.

NEW DELHI--for years the principle was in India: what will the high command, it's done. The high command is female, lives on one of the best addresses in New Delhi and pulls all stripping from the background. High command, is so katzbuckelnd named by the functionaries of the ruling Congress Party, Sonia Gandhi. The most powerful woman India was for many years, the foreigner, the Italian daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi, the widow of Indira's son Rajiv.

But the unprecedented career, which began when she framed the Indira Gandhi made by numerous shots in her lap, seems to be over now. All polls suggest that the Congress, this party of the freedom struggle, the party of Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and his daughter Indira, this party, which was almost a synonym for India, coming to a catastrophic defeat.

Mild media

The new star in the Indian political sky is Narendra modes. He is a right-wing populist songwriter, a Tribune of the Plebs with dictatorial trains, promising the people of jobs and prosperity, a man who polarizes like no other and yet has become the great hope. The newspapers, some even as fascists described him recently as dangerous extremists, now strikingly lenient deal with him.

The end of the Nehru/Gandhi dynasty seems sealed. The disappointment about the Klan is abysmal. The last five years were years of absolute standstill. The reforms of the early 1990s, seemed to catapult India already in the League of a world power, are sanded, opportunities for advancement and change have been nipped in the bud, the State institutions will no longer work.

Instead all over corruption and fraud in almost unimaginable extent. Falling growth rates, rising prices, downward trend in all areas. People are thoroughly fed up with the current policy. No one has dared to halt the decline of the Congress Party, because no Congress politician dared to contradict the Supreme command. Even Rahul does not, the 43-year old son of Sonia and intended to be the heir of her.

Rahul is a nice guy, but certainly not a high Achiever. He almost resembles an amateur politician. His actually not seeking the job as Prime Minister, the party has offered him five years ago. Because he resembles his father Rajiv, who just forced took this Office in Indira of Gandhi's - after the assassination and was later murdered. Even veteran Congress-people now recognize: "people want no weak Government. Do you want a joyful decision and decisive leadership."

Flowering state

That promises Narendra modes. As Prime Minister of the Federal State Gujarat he made his country the Union with strength and drive to one of the Tin Star States - and a model for the rest of India. Modes will boost the economy again, over 100 million jobs are to be created every year, he wants to rid all obstructive bureaucracy the company from the shackles. "The country must return to fast growth, so that we keep pace with China", he says.

Because, he propagated the big to the Hindus, India must be world power. This is the philosophy of the radical fundamentalist RSS, the ideological arm of the Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian people's Party BJP), the 63 modes from early on has coined. The pioneers of the RSS, which is the fascism of the Nazi closely associated feel, the Hindutva have written on their flags. While the Nazis justified their claim to power and domination with the Aryan race, the ideologues do the RSS with the religion of Hinduism.

That fuels fears for the minorities in India, the 170 million Muslims and 25 million Christians. They have not forgotten the worst religious riots of the last time, where a Hindu mob in 2002 in retaliation for an attack on a Hindu pilgrimage put entire Muslim neighborhoods in Gujarat in debris and ash, raped women and children and brutally killed people 1000 - while police watched unmoved MODIS.

Modes, knows that it for him on every vote. Therefore, he is unusually mild compared to the minorities and dispenses with the usual anti-Muslim speech.

And there's still the number three in the Indian election campaign, Arvind Kejrival, which seitde
